we communicate. There are a number of other general points that are worth making about language. First, human language is not only a vocal are system of communication. It can be expressed in writing, with the result that it is not limited in time or space. Secondly, each language is both arbitrary and systematic. Based on crystals‟ statement (1994; 2) language is a result of the normal process of education and social and social development.
Language is the most vital instrument human life. It is clear that human cannot live alone, because people in social life and communication.
People as a social human need each other, they life together and also communication is very important to understand each other, they use language for communication, so language is very important in social life. According to as Horn Bys‟ dictionary (1987: 473) “ Language is human and not instincitive method communicating ideas, feeling, and desires by means of sounds. ( Pei& Gaynor 1954: 119) language is a system of communicating by sound, i.e., through the organs of speech and hearing, among human beings af a certain group or community, using vocal symbol possesing arbitary conventional meaning.
According to Ali Alkuli ( 1976 : 10 ) that english is an international language. Language is very needed to be learned as a tool of communicating with the other nation. Especially English is known and used by people in every country as anative language , second language,or foreign language.

English is first language in other country and as an international language, in addition English is second language in educational area especially Indonesia, so it is very important rule of human life because of this fact the number people who speak english always all aspect in our life. If we want to know about the new global information which is published by using English, we should understand what the news tells about. So it is necessary when we want to know all the global information, we should learn English. Not only for Britain and American, english is also language of human beings. Because of this fact, the numbers of people who speak English are always increased year by year.
Hornby, AS( 1994: 1425) vocabulary is total number of words that companies a textbook in foreign language.

According to Lo and Li cited in Scoepp (2001) that “ Songs provide a break from classroom routine, and that learning English trough songs develops a non-theatening classroom atmosphere in which the four language skills can be enhanced”. So , the song is way to give relax
Asher (
1986:10) defines that “ The TPR method is a language learning method based on the coordination of speech and action. It is useful technique in developing students mastery vocabulary and this method the students listen and respond to the spoken target language of their teacher.

G. The Frame of Thinking
Learning is the most vital key term in every kind of education effort for without learning there will not education. There are many educators here latest a few definition of learning. So, learning is caused by existence of experience. The behavior changes of skill, attitude, knowledge, comprehension and appreciation. Learning will be effective if the learner experience and deal with the learning process it self.
Burton (1990: 278) stated “ your vocabulary is the range of words that you can use”. The large it is the better will your performance in all aspect of English language work be especially for people in which English is as their foreign language, knowing vocabulary is a must for them.
Vocabulary is one the language components in order to carry out communication or to make up a language , thus the English vocabulary is therefore very crucial in the process of learning of foreign language.
Learning in language is not easy to do it. It‟s major undertaking that meaning and this is make the students lazy to learning English espessially vocabulary. That condition of course makes the students always difficult in learning English mareover the students got bored with common technique.
According to Peter Kline in Gordon Dryden & Jeannette Vos‟s book (2001:22) that “ Belajar akan lebih efektif dan menyenangkan jika di
lakukan dalam suasana menyenangkan
” ( Study will be effective if done by fun)..
English teacher in Junior High scool is hoped to use the song to help the students to increasing their motivation to learn the foreign language ( English ) , including at the Junior High scool Mts As-Syifa Wal’ain Bondan Indramayu.

H. Assumption
nd
This research was started on August 02 , 2012. In this research the researcher found the students problem, they are : students difficult to pronounce the word exactly and also they can‟t understand about vocabulary well. These are caused by :
1. As the people of Indramayu the students always use their mother tongue with their family, friend, and their teachers.
2. Less in mastery Indonesian vocabulary, it is caused by the first cause.
3. Limited knowledge on English vocabulary.
4. Limited English learning instruments.
5. Less motivation on learning English.
Those problems should be solved by the teacher. The students of the yunior high school need a new method of learning and they also need the other instruments of learning such as picture cards, scrabble, poster, cassettes, CD, etc. the writer tried to apply the TPR (total physical response) to teach English for the students. As we know that children are more quickly and are less able to keep themselves motivated on task they find difficult. Children often seem less embarrassed than adults at talking in a new language, and their lack of inhibition seems to help them get more native like accent (Cameron : 2001).
Researcher chooses
MTs Syifa Wala’in Bondan for her research,
because researcher found the students difficulties on mastery in vocabulary. The causing are : students only speaking in bahasa Indramayu,
English vocabulary,limited English learning instruments, and less motivation on learning English.
From the problems above can be known that students are not being motivated to study English. So in this eresearch the researcher not only wants to prove the students, vocabulary skill but researcher also wants to prove the students response by using song.
nd nd
- June 22 , 2003 proves that the Solichah‟s research on April 22 application of English song on the students, motivation at MTs Syifa
Wala’in Bondan contributes about 40%. It is a succicient correlation. She
explained that the students are motivated when they listening English song before study the material which was related with the song (2003:65).
Excited from Rosandi‟s (2009:73) thesis which titled in Student‟s responses to use English song for improving English pronunciation at Eight
MTs Syifa Wala’in Bondan, show that the influence of
using English song for improving English pronunciation is 771%. It is categorized on the high classification of correlation. It means that the English song is given a big contribution on improving students pronunciation skill.
In Puji‟s tehesis (2010:83) which titled the influence of listening English song on the students speaking skill at the sixth year students of SD
Negeri 1 Kerandong Kabupaten Cirebon, show that the influence of using
English song for improving students, speaking skill is only 5%, it is categorized on the law classification of correlation.
To teach vocabulary the teacher needs a new method. One of the methods is using TPR, by using it students can improve their vocabulary skill and understand about the subject deeply. TPR is one of the method for teaching English. Ehildren received the learning enthusiastically when they were studying English by using TPR (total physical response) method the students difficulties on learning English.
Therefore, in writing this thesis, the writer will discuss about he sixth year the students, difficulties are becoming the problem in writing this thesis. Besides, the writer will also measure the appropriate of using TPR (total physical response) method on the instructional process and the researcher will look for information about the efforts to help students study between the students mastery in vocabulary by listening English song and total physical response application at the sevents grade students of MTs
